One other question I have is regarding the rear in our Cub Cadet. I didn't get to look at it yet but I have heard my uncles say about "how solid it is" and "they don't make them like that anymore". So I tried to do some digging to figure out what they meant and I saw that when IH manufactured them they used a cast iron rear. However, I also saw that when MTD took over they switched to aluminum but I wasn't sure when. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on how to find out. I would say the tractor was purchased new around 1987.

IH sold the Cub Cadet division in Mid 1980. They sold to Cub Cadet Corporation (CCC) a division of MTD. MTD used the IH design and production parts for a while. Starting at S/N: 720,000 and greater (in mid 1983) they started using an Aluminum Rear end. I am assuming, this was done as a "cost savings" plan.

You have an aluminum rear in your machine. There is nothing wrong with the aluminum rears and they actually have better internal parts. There are 6 bolts that attach it to the frame. Use a torque wrench and check your bolts at least once a year. The bolts working loose is the only issue with them. Let's see some pics of your machine.

Will get pics this week! Just getting ready for paint and new decals. Motor has been disassembled, serviced and compression tested, carb rebuilt, all electricals gone over and serviced, belts checked and fuel system cleaned. Runs like a top and now it's time to make her look pretty again!

Disassembling an engine for "service" seems like overkill..... I usually service mine while they are assembled....

We actually took it to the local cub cadet dealer as we thought we were having compression issues in one of the cylinders. They took it apart to check the cylinders and make sure everything was on the up and up. Runs like a champ now.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
